ENERGY (Energy sources are natural resources which we obtain different…

- - - - The turbine converts mechanical energy into the rotating movement of a shaft
      - An alternator has a fixed part, called a stator, and a moving part, called a rotor, connected to the turbine shaft
- - - - As part of a technicaj proiect, t's mandatory to carry out an environmental impact assessment
        
        Ext raction of natural resources
        
        The
        exploitation of fossil fuels and nuclear power means the depletion of resources,
        
        Fuel transport
        
        Oil is transported by means of oil pipelines and oil tankers.
        
        Electricity generation
        
        Hydroelectric power plants
        
        Nuclear thermal power plant
        
        Conventional thermal power plants
- - - - This type of plant includes a nuclear fission reactor that produces the preussiered steam needed tomove the tourbine rotor Uranium its the main fuel used.
    - - At this type of power plant, water is heated in a boiler by the heat geneterated fromthe combustion of a fosil fuel normaly naturalgas or coal
    - - This type of power plant uses the potential energy provided by the height of the stored water in a dam converting it mto kinetic energy.
        
        Depending on the destination of the water, hydraulic power plants are divided into two types, gravity or pump.
- - - - Are a clean form of generating electnmty. However they can only e instafled in places with appropnate wind
        conditions.
    - - These plants use the energy from the sun. There are two main types of instaflations: photo-thermal
        and photovoltaic power plants.
        
        Photo-thermal power plant
        
        Photovoltaic power plant
    - - These plants use the heat found at deep evels in the earth. This heat may reach the surface in the form of steam, gases or hot water
    - - Biomass consists of all organic compounds at are produced through natural processes.
    - - These power plants use the energy from the seas and the oceans.
